I was quite sick this morning. So as I am literally getting sick, this is what I hear:
“Mom, can I have some grapes now?”
“Mom? Grapes? Me, too!” I feel a tug on my shirt. A more insistent tug.
Then the computer keys start getting pounded.
Then I hear papers ripping.
I’m helpless–but only for seconds. They seem to know I am helpless. More papers rip. More fervent computer keyboard pounding.
Then they’re both behind me, doing something to the back of my pants. What the hell are they doing? I hear: “Tail! Tail!” They scamper away.
They’ve accomplished so much in these seconds, and when I finally straighten up and turn around, I see two little boys holding hands, spinning in a circle, singing Ring Around the Rosy. The picture of suspicious innocence. And I have a mylar balloon floating out of the back of my pants.
This was absolutely hilarious…sorry it was at your expense
30 seconds sounds about right…
totally. When I was pregnant my daughter was explosive with mischief. My husband said I was crazy – but I KNOW it was because I was weak and she knew it.
My little Menace (2) is into everything.
30 seconds can sometimes be too long!
I laughed and laughed at this post!
Great story.
I tagged you for a meme too.. do with it as you will. : )
ok, now that is hilarious. sorry, but I kind of got a visual on it too……
They’re fast (and hilarious). Hope you’re feeling better.
Ooooo, sorry, Candace, that you got a visual. Kind of gross.
Bluemilk, I love that meme. Thank you, I will definitely do it—so many bizarre behavior traits to choose from. I will ponder…
